Cozying Up

This weekend Josh and I started working on our 'master' bedroom.  There isn't really anything masterful about it other than the master of the household sleeps there.  It's pretty small and we realized finding furniture that fits and that we both like inside our budget is going to be hard.  So needless to say we didn't find any furniture this weekend.  


While we were away in Michigan the bedding we had ordered online arrived.  Since furniture was a no go we decided to paint and choose curtains.  This room was, so far, the hardest one to choose paint for.  We were thinking of doing one bold colored wall (green because I am pretty against a blue room) and the rest a good neutral.  The neutral was hard to choose because grey is so dominant in the bedding and we didn't want grey walls.

What colors would you choose?

We wandered around Lowes for a while searching out rugs and curtains and still going back and forth about colors when it occurred to us we could do all four walls the bold color.  Nothing was stopping us.  So that's just what we did!  We chose a great green that matches quite well with the green dots on the bedding.  

I apologize for quality - we didn't finish til after dark.

This was the first room of the house we actually painted together.  It was nice to be able to feel like we were doing it together rather than him working hard while I'm away all week.

We weren't able to decide on curtains, although we did pick two options to hang and decide.  I'll have pictures of that process next week! 

Here's a before and after (or rather the before and progress since it isn't finished):

PS - Yes only one sham, because apparently they don't come in a set.
